Birmingham Panthers avoided the bottom of the Netball Super League with an emphatic 67-43 win at Leeds Rhinos.
In their final match of the season, the losers knew they would end the campaign at the bottom of the eight-team table.
The Panthers led 17-11 late in the first quarter and extended their advantage to 31-18 at halftime.
Leading 37-19, the Panthers looked to be cruising, though the hosts cut the deficit to just 12.
But the visitors quickly ended any hopes of a home comeback and once clear, Betsy Crick scored 49.
It was only the Panthers’ third league win of the season, but they finished with a come-from-behind win over the London Mavericks 52-51 on Sunday.
The Rhinos opened their campaign with a 54-39 away success against the Panthers in February, but that was their only league win of the year.
